Ardbeg Kelpie Committee Release

Given the success and cult-like fan base that Ardbeg has recently enjoyed, it is almost impossible to imagine that the distillery was closed, on and off, for 15 years until it was purchased by Glenmorangie.

Part-matured in Russian oak casks from Adygea by the Black Sea, this complex Ardbeg has been well-received by the critics.
